Core Tip	CO2 embolism is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of laparoscopic surgery. In particular, paradoxical CO2 embolisms are highly associated with postoperative neurologic deficits. We report a case of paradoxical CO2 embolism identified using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) during laparoscopic hepatectomy even though the patient did not have an intracardiac shunt. Generally, EtCO2 monitoring is a sensitive method for detecting gas embolism, but it is difficult to identify the extent or detailed status, such as paradoxical embolism. Intraoperative TEE can help quickly identify the presence and extent of CO2 embolism, which will help provide appropriate treatment and predicting postoperative complications.
